APIS provides pollution impact records for a variety of habitats, ecosystems and species. Each record contains information on key impacts including any crtiical loads or levels and a full reference list.

The search tools have been split into 3 groupings:

  1. Search by habitat - provides records for the 'APIS habitats' for the main pollutants of concern namely: nitrogen and acid depostion, ammonia (NH3), ozone (O3), sulphur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx).
  2. Search by ecosystem - provides records for the 'APIS ecosystems' for the other pollutants of concern namely: halogens including fluorides, heavy metals, VOCs, dusts, and POPs
  3. Search by species - provides records of selected species for the main pollutants of concern

To help you with choose and match a habitat or ecosystem of interest please refere to the habitat table which relate the habitats and ecosystems used in APIS to UK Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) habitats (broad and priority), the Habitats Directive (Annex 1 habitats occurring in the UK) and EUNIS classifications. classifications.
